And I will continue to do that to every floyd equipped guitar I own because I love the way they feel on the palm.

You should have known the job was dangerous when you took it. Soldiers don't come back from war surprised they got shot at... Likewise, you should have been prepared for a string gauge change on a floyd rose to take longer than on a fixed bridge...
Hyperbolic perhaps, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
But yeah, in this day and time, if you simply type in "floyd rose" on youtube, you'll get plenty of videos of people demonstrating how to set them up. In a sense, I guess there really isn't an excuse for this.![]()
This.
FIXED EDGE>Blocked Lo-Pro>Blocked Floyd>TOM>Schaller models>Gotoh models>*>crap>low-end fixed bridges (hello pre-2009? ibanez RG7321! can't comment on the new 2010 onward ibanez RG standard line bridges though as I really haven't played an Ibanez seriously since I had my RG7620 unfortunately, but they look a little nicer so maybe they're decent.)
One I can't quite put on this list yet would have to be the new Ibanez Tight-End.. that thing looks like it could be the perfect fixed bridge![]()
Basically this. The only thing that really makes me groan about Floyds is intonation.Changing string gauges - not that bad
Changing tunings - Not that bad
Changing both? Kind of Frustrating, but still not that bad.
The only thing I hate doing on floyds is intonation adjustments. Even though are kind of a pain to set up, once they're set up and you don't change string gauges or tunings they are more stable tuning-wise than just about any option out there. To each their own, but all my guitars are set up for floating and I love it.
I hate setting them up but the floyd on my loomis was crazy stable. NEVER went put of tune.
